That’s it. Straw poll. I have a number in my head and it would be interesting to see if anyone else agrees with me.

58. Your kids are grown up. You don't have grandkids yet.

At least 55.

There's a 'rule' somewhere about not after labour day, October something, to wear white jeans.

I'm 48 and have worn white jeans all my life, but not in winter. Hardly ground-breaking!

I love classic, white linen trousers, my Joseph ones (absolutely gorgeous) have ruined after so much wear.

Any age you want to be & wear white jeans. How daft to let such stupid social prejudices dictate what you can wear

BusterGonad · 01/12/2019 13:33

I'm not sneering as I think Liz Hurley is graat and her style really suits her. I don't think I'd wear them though as I'm not really polished looking.

BossAssBitch · 01/12/2019 15:28

White jeans are dated and mumsy.

Runs >>>>>>>

I don’t know, but you’re in rollerblading in a Tampax ad.

EchidnasPhone · 01/12/2019 15:30

64+

Thecurtainsofdestiny · 01/12/2019 15:55

Between 60 and 70.

( I am not yet old enough/ responsible enough for white jeans).

charm8ed · 01/12/2019 16:03

I got my first pair this year at 50, they are definitely an age thing.

AlwaysOnAbloodyDiet · 01/12/2019 16:04

20-80
20s: skinny, highwaisted, probably ripped

Swisskit · 01/12/2019 16:10

No one should wear white jeans. Ever.

thethoughtfox · 01/12/2019 16:15

Liz Hurley. You are Liz Hurley............

Helspopje · 01/12/2019 16:15

44

Loopytiles · 01/12/2019 16:16

However many years liz hurley is!

user1494055864 · 01/12/2019 17:44

I'm 46 and have a ripped white pair. But then I do tend to wear whatever the fuck I want.

OhWellThatsJustGreat · 01/12/2019 17:46

Another for grey jeans, they are so much easier to keep clean then white, especially with young children.
I'd say teenager or 50+ as an age guard for wearing white jeans.

ComisSousDePartie · 01/12/2019 17:47

60s. You wear gold footwear, mules or open toes and go on cruises when you can. You are friends with Margaret and Alan.

thecalmorchid · 01/12/2019 17:48

In your early to mid 50's

MrsSchadenfreude · 01/12/2019 17:49

My mother wears white jeans and jeggings. She is 86.

Divebar · 01/12/2019 17:53

I don’t think we need to worry about the Labour day rule in the UK since we don’t actually have Labour day. Personally I wouldn’t wear them because I’m a “ public transport type of person” combined with “ messy eater” and those two things in combination would make them a no go. I think 47 years plus though to answer your question.

ReginaGeorgeous · 01/12/2019 17:54

You are 54, because you are Liz Hurley.

AlwaysOnAbloodyDiet · 01/12/2019 17:56

Margaret and Alan 😂😂😂😂

DippyAvocado · 01/12/2019 17:57

I'm 40 and wear them in the summer if it's too cold for dresses or shorts. I also wear pale blue ones.
